Chapter Forty-Eight: The Grim Hunter
"Lilith!"
Seeing the little owl thrown into the hole by the snake soldiers, Tali and Catherine screamed in unison, and they struggled to get up to rescue them, but the snake soldiers held them down and couldn't move, and could only watch as the stone slabs of the cave were covered.
"Alright, tell me, where are the other two?"
The snake man queen returned her gloomy gaze to the snake man captain's face, and the captain replied with a respectful face: "Queen, we did not arrest them, but sent two soldiers to lure them away. ”
"What? Don't you understand me? I want you to take them all, and I want to sacrifice my daughter with their blood!" exclaimed the queen, glaring at the captain.
The captain of the snake man hurriedly replied: "The queen is angry, we didn't mean to let them go!" He calmed down and continued to explain: "These people are extraordinary, the two men led by them are dressed as rangers, I am worried that there will be a shortage of manpower, so I didn't dare to fight hard." ”
The captain looked down at Tali and Catherine, who were pressed to the ground by the soldiers, and pointed at Tali and said to the queen, "Even so, we have paid a great price, and this witch's magic has easily killed a dozen of our soldiers!"
"Witch?" the queen asked, glancing at Tully, "why did the witch come here?"
"I'm not a witch, I'm a merfolk temple guardian, and my companions and I have an important mission to the Titans' fortress!" Tali said loudly to the snake queen, looking up.
"Merfolk, I know you. The queen nodded slightly.
When Tali heard her say this, she was secretly happy in her heart, and was expecting things to turn around, when she heard the queen sneer, "But what does that have to do with me? I don't care why you came here, I just want to avenge my daughter!"
She looked up at the snake man captain and asked, "How are you going to catch those two men?"
"Rest assured, Queen, we have left marks along the way, and they will surely follow us to find this place, and when the time comes, we can tear them to pieces and pay tribute to the princess's soul!" said the snake man captain confidently.
"I don't see, you're quite scheming, go ahead and set it up, divide these two women for me, and don't let them run away!" said the queen as she waved her hand for them to stand down.
The Serpent Captain bowed and ordered the soldiers to drag Tully and Catherine from the ground and lead them out of the cavern.
Outside the cave, Rog and Murphy appeared near the snake people's station, and the two of them hid behind a large rock, peeking at the station below the hillside, which was located at the edge of the forest and the only exit from the valley, where the snake people roamed around like a checkpoint.
"I've heard for a long time that the snake people on Ice Island are huge, and now it seems to be really good!" Murphy said to Rog.
"I'm afraid these are just a certain tribe of the snake people, the power of the snake people will never be only so little, if the king of the Titans is the emperor of the ice and snow island, then the snake queen is the king of the principality. ”
Rog glanced at the snake sentry not far away, and continued, "As for these, they are at most the Duke's guards. ”
"No matter what they are, we can't deal with so many people!" Murphy frowned and shook his head slightly.
"That's right, we only have two choices: slip under their noses, or lure them away!" Rogge said as he looked back at Murphy. Murphy was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "You don't want me to lure this group away, do you?"
"No, on the contrary, I'll lure them away, and you sneak into the cave to save people!"
Murphy shook his head again and again when he heard this, "Then how can you do it? So many snake men and soldiers are enough to block the entire valley mouth, and you can't run out at all!"
Rog was about to speak, when he heard the cry of a young beast in the forest behind him, and he had an idea, beckoned Murphy to follow him, turned and tiptoed in the direction from which the sound came.
The two cautiously approached the place where the sound came from, and saw a snow-white snowman cub wandering in the snow, and the little one, who had not yet grown claws and teeth, seemed to be lost, and kept calling out from his mouth.
"Maybe we can take advantage of it!" Rogge said back to Murphy.
The adventurer shook his head without confidence and said, "Such a little guy was eaten by the snake man in one bite, and it will not play a role in delaying time at all!"
Before the words fell, a loud roar suddenly came from the woods not far away, and the little snowman immediately screamed in response when he heard the call, and Rog rushed up to pick up the little snowman without hesitation, turned around and ran in the direction of the snake man's station.
The little snowman who was held in Rog's arms struggled and wailed, and the sound caused the adult snowman to be uneasy, and its roar became more and more rapid as it came in the direction from which the young beast's voice came.
While controlling the struggling little snowman, Rog and Murphy ran wildly to the vicinity of the snake man's station, and threw the little snowman in his hand towards the snake man's station.
The little one fell on the thick snow, rolled forward like a snowball for a while, struggled to get up from the ground, and suddenly found several fierce snake men standing beside him, and immediately screamed in fright.
The snowman's cry alarmed more snakemen, and they gathered around them from all sides, and the nearest snakeman had already grabbed the snowman from the ground and showed the sharp knife in his hand to the snowman.
At this moment, an adult snowman rushed out of the woods, and when he saw the little snowman caught in his hand by the snakes, the adult snowman was immediately enraged, and it let out an earth-shattering roar and pounced on the snakes.
The snakes took advantage of the strength of the crowd and swarmed up to start a fierce battle with the snowman, although the snowman had a big waist and a round waist, after all, he was outnumbered, and soon became covered in bruises, and the desperate and terrible roar accompanied by the terrified cry of the little snowman echoed in the sky above the valley.
"Isn't it too cruel for us to do this?" asked Murphy, who was hiding behind the boulder, bowing his head and sighing softly.
Rogge's face was not moved in the slightest, as if nothing had happened, just silently watching the snakes attack the snowman with their teeth and claws, and at this moment, there was a sudden roar in the forest.
"Here they are......"
With Rogge's soft whisper, countless snowmen frantically rushed out of the forest and pounced on the snakes in the snake people's station, these fat white-haired beasts stretched out their strong and sharp claws as if they were dying, and launched a violent revenge on the snake people.
Seeing this scene, Rogge stood up from behind the stone, turned around and said to Murphy in a cold tone: "Brother, the law of the jungle is the law of nature, we must do whatever it takes to survive, the great forest does not accept moralists, and mercy cannot save Tali and Catherine!"
With that, he walked quickly out from behind the boulder, and Murphy stepped out of the boulder after him, looking at Rogge's back with mixed feelings, and feeling terrible at the coldness and determination he had shown.
He suddenly wanted to know what made this man so cruelly calm at any moment.
But Murphy didn't have time to think about this at this time, he drew his sword and followed Rogge, and the two took advantage of the fierce battle between the snowmen and the snake people to quickly cross the station, relying on the trees and rocks along the way to avoid the reinforcements of the snake people, and soon found the cave where Catherine and Tali were.
At this time, at the entrance of the cave, there were only a few snake soldiers left guarding, Rog saw that the other party had few troops, turned around and made a gesture to Murphy, the two jumped out from behind the cover and rushed to the entrance of the cave, and the snake soldiers at the entrance of the cave saw someone coming, and also waved the weapons in their hands to meet them.
With the body of the last snake soldier collapsed in a pool of blood, Rog turned back and waved at Murphy before turning and walking towards the dark cavern.
Suddenly, a group of snake soldiers rushed out of the cave and surrounded the two of them, and the leader of the snake man captain was holding four long knives, pointing at the two of them and sneering: "You are very smart, but you think that you can easily break into here by creating chaos, that is very wrong!"
